AT THE SCOTT COUNTY HERITAGE CENTER & MUSEUM

Support your Scott County Museum today!

The new year is the time to become a member of your Scott County Museum.  There are always two floors of displays for the public and in 2026 we are planning a lot of new displays just special for you.  Do you have a special display that you would like to see?  If so, please let us know.

 A family membership is only $25.00 per year and a single member is only $20.00.

There is no charge to come in and tour both floors and we have an elevator for those that prefer elevators.

The Scott County Heritage Center and Museum promotes and preserves Scott County history and is the only such institution in the county. The museum also serves the community by hosting many events each year, including Historical Luncheons/Dinners, monthly Brown Bag Lunches, and in 2026, we are planning several classes for the public on many subjects.  Of course we still have our famous ghost tours (and yes, they live here but they are all nice).  

Your membership contributions will be used to help us preserve and keep Scott County’s rich history alive for future generations.

Preservation Alliance, Inc. (PAI) is the parent organization of the Scott County Heritage Center & Museum. PAI and the Museum are supported through memberships, donations, grants, and other philanthropic contributions. The Museum is Not on the Scott County tax rolls.  

Being a member doesn’t require meeting attendances but we would like for you to attend some of our events. We realize everyone can’t attend every event. We believe you will enjoy the  newsletter and various programs. A lot of the programs are free. 

Newsletters will be sent to you from the Museum.
